Talkback

Hello, MaryBonvirea. You have new messages at Chzz's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

By the way, why do you keep blanking this page? It's a lot easier if you just leave things on here - for example, the welcome that I provided earlier has lots of very useful links. Anyway.  Chzz  ►  18:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

How to welcome users

Hi there.

I've just realised that, a few days ago, you asked me how to welcome new users. You also asked me about talkback - I answered the latter and not the former; sorry I missed it. Here is a delayed answer.

• Go to special:logs
• In the logs drop-down, choose 'user creation log'. Look for users who have made contributions but do not have a talk page - so, look for users with a redlink talk, but a link in contribs. (Don't welcome users that have not contributed; lots of accounts are created and never used, so no point cluttering up the wiki).
• Also, skip any inappropriate user names (see WP:USERNAME) - consider reporting these on WP:ACC if appropriate.
• Click their redlinked talk page, and create the page.
• You can either use a standard welcome template, or use my own.

• If you use a standard template, you should make a new section with == Welcome ==, then, on the next line, put {{subst:welcome}}
• If you use mine, it creates a section automatically, so you just put {{subst:user:chzz/w}}

• Put a suitable edit summary, such as 'welcome', and save the page
